Do This in Remembrance of Me

This week we will gather at a Table, a Cross, and an Empty Tomb. We do all this in remembrance of Jesus – who did all of this for you.

Imagine being one of the disciples seated at the table when Jesus announces that “One of you will betray me?” How would you respond?

Imagine being one of the disciples at the table when he takes the bread and announces, “This is my body given for you.” Then he takes the cup of wine and announces, “This is my blood shed for you? We hear these words every time we take communion. This coming Maundy Thursday, I invite you to think about this again, for the first time.

Imagine being one of the disciples in the garden as he announces, “Keep Awake.” Can you?

Imagine being one of the disciples who watches Judas kiss Jesus and then be arrested. Would you follow?

Imagine being Simon of Cyrene on the side of the road watching Jesus collapse at the “weight” of carrying in the cross. Then a soldier tells you to pick up the cross. Would you carry it?

Imagine being one of the people watching the Jesus hang on the cross and hear him cry out, “Father forgive them, they know not what you do.” Will you do likewise?

Imagine being one the woman going to the tomb to find the stone rolled away, a young man sitting where Jesus laid and tell you, “He has Risen.” Would you tell anyone?

We don’t need to imagine any of this. We are invited to do this in remembrance of Jesus…
